Sotto Poet Poet Bio

A Silent Warrior

Written: June 10, 2024, For Eve Roper Contest

                 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

1/ The eldest son of a family immigrated to the United States.
2/ I'm a bibliophile. I deem myself artistic, empathetic, and spiritual.
3/ I have one son, two daughters, and seven grandchildren.
4/ -I am an advocate for the aesthetic value of one's natural surroundings, spouse, offspring, and grandchildren.
    -Dancing flowers, the sound of azure waters on the shore, and the sight of cascades crashing against coral cliffs.
5/ Devote myself to the principles of generosity and tolerance for all.
6/ Handling disrespect and inequity is a chore I'm wary of.
7/ I love traveling globally, especially on cruises, and learning about cultures, traditions, art forms, and history.
8/I am a resident of San Jose, a vibrant city in California.
9/My last name - Sotto.

*****

What a joy it is to hear my kid's laughter return.
Dancing and bustling around me, I long to churn.
The sight of vacant seats at meals makes me grieve.
Unless, when there are happy events to heave!

Valsa George June 19, 2024 at 4:53 AM This is so lovely dear friend. Even a bio with bare facts and personal details can be made so poetic, now I realize. All the Best in the contest.

Duke Beaufort June 13, 2024 at 4:58 PM SP, it's great that you can celebrate your family and it must be a pleasure to have grandchildren. I have two kids, but they are not interested in having any. What you describe is wonderful to visualize and think about what you have written. You deserve much PRAISE!!!!

Kim Rodrigues June 11, 2024 at 2:51 PM Says a lot about your heart: The sight of vacant seats at meals makes me grieve…so sweet.

Silent One June 11, 2024 at 12:13 PM At first I thought the title was about me.. just joking.. Great bio my friend and thanks for sharing... Best of luck in the contest..

Andrea Dietrich June 11, 2024 at 10:16 AM I like the creative way you did your bio. Probably you should avoid giving your last name. Women here can do it because we have different last names once we marry. But maybe the judge won't care. Great bio and little poem at the end
